Sometimes it seems that Sony itself is a PS4 hacker’s best friend. In January, we wrote about how hackers were taking advantage of the system’s built-in PlayStation Classics emulator to get arbitrary PS2 games running on unlocked hardware. Now, it seems a PSP emulator buried in a “remastered” PS4 release could provide a new way to get upscaled versions of the portable system’s games running on your TV.

The only apparent difference in the PS4 remaster is an included 4K texture package that makes the game look good on a modern television. We’re reminded of similar fan-made texture packages that can already improve the look of everything from N64 and PS3 games to Wii U games via PC-based emulators.

In the days since that discovery, KiiWii has posted purported pictures of Loco Roco running via the PS4, and other hackers have shown Patapon, Namco Museum, and a PSP dev kit test app supposedly running via the PS4. Others in the GBATemp thread, though, warn that a long list of PSP games apparently don’t yet work via PaRappa‘s “PSPHD” emulator, and it may require more massaging to get arbitrary games to fit (KiiWii suggests the emulator may have a built-in file-size limit of 880 MB gumming things up).

With PS4-based emulators for the NES and Game Boy already well underway, as well as work on Steam-on-PS4 capabilities via Linux, Sony’s latest hacked console is already shaping up to be a clearinghouse for retro-hardware mimicry. It’s nice, then, that Sony’s own emulators can help aid in that effort sometimes.
